Histology: An Identification Manual
Get PDFThis brand-new, user-friendly text takes you effortlessly through the step-by-step process you need to accurately distinguish the various components of each and every tissue, organ, and system under consideration. Each chapter contains a “commonly misdiagnosed” section to help you avoid the usual pitfalls in identification, and a “logic tree” maps out the questions you should be asking yourself as you go through the identification process. Accurately identify a structure with step-by-step guidance instructing you on when to use a low magnification or high magnification objective. Focus on the parts of the micrograph you should be assessing via the help of large format micrographs accompanied by pen and ink drawings. Avoid pitfalls thanks to a “commonly misdiagnosed” section at the end of the each chapter. Obtain expert guidance on practical matters in the lab using an appendix on techniques and stain procedures.
A clear page design, concise text, and practical binding make this resource an indispensable friend in the lab. It’s almost like having your own personal histology instructor at your side.

I went through it and found it an excellent histology manual not only for the students but for the instructors as well. Brilliant job, Prof.

Previously I have used a lab manual for an Embryology course I taught at City College of New York that presented both micrographs and drawings of the slide. I consider that to be an excellent way to present the material to students. For that reason, I have listed your atlas as a suggested texts for my Histology courses. Making it available through Openstax will benefit many students.

Times Are Changing: Addressing Racism and Sexism in Die Zauberflöte
No full textThe eighteenth century philosophy regarding discrimination based on gender and race do not align with the philosophy of the modern era. Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, written in 1791, is full of racist and misogynist remarks which are woven carefully into the music and plot of the opera. Racism is evident through the character of Monostatos and the claims that his status as a Moor make him less valuable as a human being. Additionally, the character Sarastro exemplifies a rational and powerful male while the Queen of the Night, while powerful in her own right, is the villain: an unruly, emotional woman. These aspects must be addressed and will influence how we produce Die Zauberflöte in the current day. Instead of erasing this important historical work, future productions of this opera and other similar works should be made through a more humanitarian and educational lens
For [REDACTED]
Get PDFThis poem was written following the attempts of a close friend and myself to create awareness for the ongoing genocide in Tigray, Ethiopia in particular, and in reaction to activism in the age of social media in general. The digital age and related phenomena, such as hashtag activism and cancel culture, has enabled certain social justice movements to gain rapid traction while other equally worthy movements struggle to find a foothold. Simultaneously, standards of accountability and ethics continue to decline among global news media, with non-Western countries such as Ethiopia and my own home country of Sri Lanka bearing the brunt. The poem\u27s title and the use of censor bars allude to the continued power of information blackouts and censorship at all levels, while each section of the poem illustrates the conflicting emotions and issues that arise when attempting to fulfil one\u27s human responsibility to speak up against injustice in the 21st century
Freefall In Reverse
Get PDFThis poem was written as a direct response to the 22nd Vasquez Valarezo Award theme of Discontentment. Breaking the noun Discontentment into its components parts allowed me to explore of the emotions and mental health states experienced by myself and my community during the COVID summer of 2020. Each of the poem\u27s stanzas encourages readers to contemplate different emotional stages and the various coping mechanisms they may demand in order to regain a sense of control and stability. The poem also alludes to the value of a strong community during times of crisis, in particular the international student community of Augustana College
Pandemics: Expediting Medications Through the Trial Period for the Greater Good
Get PDFThis paper attempts to address the concern of rushing medications, specifically vaccines, to market during a global pandemic. The FDA has a very rigorous process that medications go through in order to be put on the market and while it is very effective in making medications safe, it takes a very long time to get that approval. During a widespread pandemic like COVID-19, access to a medication that would slow the spread of a virus would save countless lives and the economies of countries worldwide. This paper looks into the specific process the FDA uses to put medicine on the market, the pros and cons of rushing a specific medication to market when there is a global pandemic, experts in the medical field and their opinion on whether things should be rushed to market or not, and my own personal opinion on the matter regarding COVID-19 specifically
